   For anyone using LibreOffice, here are directions to do save accessability data.

   This page also shows how to add an image description in a document, as is done here on Mastodon.

   @libreoffice I didn't know about these features until now. Thanks for all you folks do to make great programs.

     When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.
